Default Is changing the steering pump easy?

As title really, is it a case of unbolting the old and bolting the new one on?

What about the fan belt?

Any advice would be appreciated.

the only difficulty is not getting power steering fluid everywhere and getting the nuts on the solid pipes on the pump to come undone.. it gets more complicated the more you need to swap to the new pump.. unless you buy a secondhand complete unit with resevoir on.. otherwise you need to replace the orings etc..

the belt you take off by loosening the alternator.. loosen the 12mm bolt that runs through the alternator slightly, loosen the lock bolt the other side of the alternaotr and then wind the bolt on the top.. not easy to describe with words but you should be able to work it out..
